Listen man I'm just, I'm feeling pressed okay (Hey chill out man) I'm about to snap I just can't, I can't do it Well that's the point, you don't have to, you just need to calm down All the shade that you throw my way All the hate that you've thrown my way You can have it back Playing tricks on me I don't play games Ain't no thing to me if I got to keep it this way All the shade that you throw my way All the hate that you've thrown my way You can have it back Playing tricks on me I don't play games Ain't no thing to me if I got to keep it this way An ultimate form of respect is to take a step away from the drama Just to maintain what's in ya head, they bolstered up But if you trip and fall when they conduct, the hatred and the malice You a target when they seeing red I want to agree Silas but it's hard to believe When someone plot on me want to watch me rot and bleed They stalk my feet wait for me to drop my sleeves My guard was up but now it's like they caught my cheek But that's the point, you dropped your guard Now you looking for a shield just to hide ya flaws Now they picking at ya weakness just to ride upon Treat ya like a dog but bitch this ain't no tag along This ain't no puppet show, what you think you trying to pull Who you think you are telling me what you wouldn't do Why so cynical, sensitive, critical And I can see past that the rabbit's out the hat now Now you know that it's out of the hat How you react is the key to re-enforcing the fact That this is a part of the path that you chose to enact To keep their critical nature from over looking your tracks You try to tell me how to live my life, how to dress How to take a risk with a plan that coincides When you ain't even tried, you just have a lot to say I been making plays while you criticize the moves I've made Hey Jay this what they do They feed off your positive energy siphoning what you produce And leave you drained, fuel deficient, have your body feeling tanked When you giving life remember death is checking out the bank I had to hear the backlash and your lack of faith I was heavy lifting weights you was busy throwing shade Even when it's dark I'ma shine, I know it I don't gotta' listen to a word you've spoken As you move just know that you gotta' face Any action you make, a reaction is in the wake I can't deny I get pushed to my limit So defensive and I really can't decide if I'm cool with it All the shade that you throw my way All the hate that you've thrown my way You can have it back Playing tricks on me I don't play games Ain't no thing to me if I got to keep it this way All the shade that you throw my way All the hate that you've thrown my way You can have it back Playing tricks on me I don't play games Ain't no thing to me if I got to keep it this way No strings on me, no strings on me I said I got no strings on me No strings on me, no strings on me I said I got no strings on me now
